Theme: The Trouble with Being Born

Happy July 4th America! On this celebratory day of the birth of a nation let’s begin to look at some of the traumas that are part and parcel of coming into existence.

#1 – Born Under a Bad Sign

Kelly Kaczynski, Itinerant Horoscopes, 2011, 12:38 min.

Celestial bodes have been plotting against us since FOREVER. Though we can’t separate ourselves from the social, political and cultural circumstances that help shape who we are, it would be remiss to dismiss the truest determinant of our lives – what sign we are born under.

We are nothing if not fools under a system, put in place by astrological circumstances, and our identities unfold before us in the horoscope sections of local newspapers, magazine and internet articles.

There’s nothing like a fucking star telling you who you are…

“Unilateral staring makes part not only of modern warfare, but also of online dating for instance. The idea of transparency has found ways to diffuse into nearly all realms of life. Knowledge about the other is the currency that economies of love and war operate on. Given that an image/reality split has already become our every day’s natural task, I am interested in working with technologies that register more than what the human eye can capture as a form of enhanced voyeurism.” -Vika Kirchenbauer

PRISONER’S CINEMA

“It has been widely reported that prisoners confined to dark cells often see brilliant light displays, which is sometimes called the `prisoner’s cinema.’… The brain contains many (perhaps an infinite number) of feedback loops. One of these involves a pathway between a part of the frontal lobe of the brain, which extends through the cingulate gyrus, caudate nucleus and down to the thalamus. This particular pathway is associated with the neurotransmitter serotonin, which is involved in many biological processes, including those of depression and sleep”
– Salvatore Cullari
